When I worked at Magic Windows, a high-end children’s boutique in Manhattan, the store’s owner added a tween section. She was game enough to sell my tie-dyed tee-shirts and decoupaged picture frames. First I painted them, then I added inspirational words and gems and–guess what–they sold!
Fast forward to an After School Enrichment K-2 class that focused on pets. The kids loved making their own pet picture frames with magazines cut outs. Mod Podge is my go-to decoupage medium because it’s all you need to glue, seal and finish this project that’s, seriously, fun for any age kid!
Happy creating, hon!
Supplies:
- wooden picture frame with flat surface
- magazine cut-outs, photos, hand-drawn pictures
- gems or beads, optional
